Chief Justice's statements

(a) Remote Appearances. Notwithstanding any other law, in order to protect the health and safety of the public, including court users, both in custody and out of custody defendants, witnesses, court personnel, judicial officers, and others, courts must conduct judicial proceedings and court operations as follows:

(1) Courts may require that judicial proceedings and court operations be conducted remotely.

(2) In criminal proceedings, courts must receive the consent of the defendant to 33 conduct the proceeding remotely and otherwise comply with emergency rule 5. Notwithstanding Penal Code sections 865 and 977 or any other law, the court may conduct any criminal proceeding remotely. As used in this rule, “consent of the defendant” means that the consent of the defendant is required only for the waiver of the defendant’s appearance as provided in emergency rule 5. For good cause shown, the court may require any witness to personally appear in a particular proceeding.

(3) Conducting proceedings remotely includes, but is not limited to, the use of video, audio, and telephonic means for remote appearances; the electronic exchange and authentication of documentary evidence; e-filing and e-service; the use of remote interpreting; and the use of remote reporting and electronic recording to make the official record of an action or proceeding.

(b) Sunset of rule. This rule will remain in effect until 90 days after the Governor declares that the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is lifted, or until amended or repealed by the Judicial Council.

Emergency Rule 4. Emergency Bail Schedule.

(a) Purpose. Notwithstanding any other law, this rule establishes a statewide Emergency Bail Schedule, which is intended to promulgate uniformity in the handling of certain offenses during the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(b) Mandatory application. No later than 5 p.m. on April 1013, 2020, each superior court must apply the statewide Emergency Bail Schedule:

(1) To every accused person arrested and in pretrial custody.

(2) To every accused person held in pretrial custody.

(c) Setting of bail and exceptions. Under the statewide Emergency Bail Schedule, bail for all misdemeanor and felony offenses must be set at $0, with the exception of only the offenses listed below:

(e) Application of countywide bail schedule.

(1)The current countywide bail schedule of each superior court must remain in effect for all offenses listed in exceptions (1) through (13) of the Emergency Bail Schedule, including any count-specific conduct enhancements and any status enhancements.

(2)Each superior court retains the authority to reduce the amount of bail listed in the court’s current countywide bail schedule for offenses in exceptions (1) through (13), or for any offenses not in conflict with the Emergency Bail Schedule.

(f) Bail for violations of post-conviction supervision.

(1)Under the statewide Emergency Bail Schedule, bail for all violations of misdemeanor probation, whether the arrest is with or without a bench warrant, must be set at $0.

(2) Bail for all violations of felony probation, parole, post-release community supervision, or mandatory supervision, must be set in accord with the statewide Emergency Bail Schedule, or for the bail amount in the court’s countywide schedule of bail for charges of conviction listed in exceptions (1) through (13), including any enhancements.

(g) Sunset of rule. This rule will remain in effect until 90 days after the Governor declares that the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is lifted, or until amended or repealed by the Judicial Council.

(a) Application. Notwithstanding any other law, including Penal Code sections 865 and 977, this rule applies to all criminal proceedings except cases alleging murder with special circumstances and cases in which the defendant is currently incarcerated in state prison, as governed by Penal Code section 977.2.

(b) Types of personal appearance waivers.

(1) With the consent of the defendant, the court must allow a defendant to waive his or her personal appearance and to appear remotely, either through video or telephonic appearance, when the technology is available.

(2) With the consent of the defendant, the court must allow a defendant to waive his or her appearance and permit counsel to appear on his or her behalf. The court must accept a defendant’s waiver of appearance or personal appearance when:

Counsel for the defendant must state on the record at each applicable hearing that counsel is proceeding with the defendant’s consent.

(2) For purposes of waiving time for a preliminary hearing, consent also means a 16 knowing, intelligent, and voluntary waiver of the right to hold a preliminary hearing within required time limits specified either in Penal Code section 859b or under emergency orders issued by the Chief Justice and Chair of the Judicial Council.

(3)The court must accept defense counsel’s representation that the defendant understands and agrees with waiving any right to appear unless the court has specific concerns in a particular matter about the validity of the waiver.

(d) Appearance through counsel

(1) When counsel appears on behalf of a defendant, courts must allow counsel to do any of the following:

(A) Waive reading and advisement of rights for arraignment.

(B) Enter a plea of not guilty.

(C) Waive time for the preliminary hearing.

(e)Conduct of remote hearings

(1) With the defendant’s consent, a defendant may appear remotely for any pretrial criminal proceeding.

(2) Where a defendant appears remotely, counsel may not be required to be personally present with the defendant for any portion of the criminal proceeding provided that the audio and/or video conferencing system or other technology allows for private communication between the defendant and his or her counsel. Any private communication is confidential and privileged under Evidence Code section 952.

(f) Sunset of rule. This rule will remain in effect until 90 days after the Governor declares that the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is lifted, or until amended or 16 repealed by the Judicial Council.

Extend the time period provided in section 859b of the Penal Code for the holding of a preliminary examination and the defendant’s right to release from 10 court days to not more than 30 court days.

Extend the time period provided in section 825 of the Penal Code within which a defendant charged with a felony offense must be taken before a magistrate from 48 hours to not more than seven days

Extend the time periods provided in sections 583.310 and 583.320 of the Code of Civil Procedure to bring an action to trial by no more than 60 days from the last date on which the statutory deadline otherwise would have expired

All jury trials are suspended and continued for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of this order. Courts may conduct such a trial at an earlier date, upon a finding of good cause shown or through the use of remote technology, when appropriate.

The time period provided in Penal Code section 1382 for the holding of a criminal trial is extended for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of this order. Courts may conduct such a trial at an earlier date, upon a finding of good cause shown or through the use of remote technology, when appropriate.

All superior courts are authorized under rule 10.613(i) of the California Rules of Court to adopt any proposed rules or rule amendment that is intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to take effect immediately, without advance circulation for 45 days of public comment. A court adopting any such rule change must provide a copy to Judicial Council staff and post notice of the change prominently on the court’s website, along with the effective date of the new or Page 3 of 3 amended rule. Additionally, the court must immediately distribute the new or amended rule as set forth in rule 10.613(g)(2). No litigant’s substantive rights shall be prejudiced for failing to comply with the requirements of a new or amended rule until at least 20 days after the rule change has been distributed.

Revise, on an emergency basis, the countywide bail schedule to lower bail amounts significantly for the duration of the coronavirus emergency, including lowering the bail amount to $0 for many lower level offenses – for all misdemeanors except for those listed in Penal Code section 1270.1 and for lower-level felonies. This will result in fewer individuals in county jails thus alleviating some of the pressures for arraignments within 48 hours and preliminary hearings within 10 days.

In setting an adult or juvenile defendant’s conditions of custody, including the length, eligibility for alternative sentencing, and surrender date, the court should consider defendant’s existing health conditions, and any conditions existing at defendant’s anticipated place of confinement that could affect the defendant’s health, the health of other detainees, or the health of personnel staffing the anticipated place of confinement.

With the assistance of justice partners, identify those persons currently in county jail or juvenile hall custody who have less than 60 days remaining on their jail sentence for the purpose of modifying their sentences to permit early release of such persons with or without supervision or to community-based organizations for treatment.

With the assistance of justice partners, calendar hearings for youth returning to court supervision from Department of Juvenile Justice following parole consideration for a Welf. & Inst. Code, §1766 hearing.

With the assistance of justice partners, determine the nature of supervision violations that will warrant “flash incarceration,” for the purpose of drastically reducing or eliminating the use of such an intermediate sanction during the current health crisis.

Prioritize arraignments and preliminary hearings for in-custody defendants, and the issuance of restraining orders.

Prioritize juvenile dependency detention hearings to ensure they are held within the time required by state and federal law.

For routine or non-critical criminal matters, allow liberal use of telephonic or video appearance by counsel and the defendant, and appearance by counsel by use of waivers authorized by Penal Code, § 977. Written waivers without being obtained in open court have been approved if the waiver is in substantial compliance with language specified in section 977, subdivision (b)(1). (People v. Edwards (1991) 54 Cal.3d 787, 811; People v. Robertson (1989) 48 Cal.3d 18, 62.)

Governor's Orders

"Professional services, such as legal or accounting services, when necessary to assist in compliance with legally mandated activities and critical sector services" are essential critical infrastructure workers.

"The Courts, consistent with guidance released by the California Chief Justice" are essential critical infrastructure workers.

Pursuant to subsection (b) of Emergency Rule 4 as adopted by the Judicial Council of California (JCC) on April 6, 2020, the Court hereby adopts the JCC Emergency Bail Schedule set forth in Emergency Rule 4, effective April 8, 2020. In addition to its adoption of the JCC Emergency Bail Schedule, and as permitted under subsection (e)(2) of Emergency Rule 4, the following local Alameda County Superior Court emergency bail schedule is also adopted:

(1) Infractions: $0.00

(2) Violations for failure to comply with terms of felony supervision, including felony probation, parole, or post release community supervision, that do not include the alleged commission of a new offense otherwise provided for in Emergency Rule 4: $5,000

The Court also clarifies that setting $0.00 bail is intended to authorize the citation and release of arrestees. It is not the same as declining to set bail or entering a “no bail” order. Accordingly, if necessary for technical reasons, law enforcement agencies may enter a bail amount of $0.01 in their case management systems for any offense that would otherwise have a bail amount of $0.00 under Emergency Rule 4 or as indicated above.

"The Court is working with its justice partners to develop an in-custody arraignment calendar within the limitations of our COVID-19-related staffing and health and safety constraints. The Court initially plans to attempt to conduct in-custody arraignments only (no out-of-custody arraignments), on Tuesdays and Fridays."

"The first in-custody arraignment calendars will take place on Friday, March 20, 2020. East and South County misdemeanors will be heard in Dept. 702 at the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin, while felonies will be heard in Dept. 705. North County misdemeanors will be heard in Dept. 111 at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland; felonies will be heard in Dept. 112."

"Given public health directives regarding crowd size and social distancing, and given that our courthouses are currently closed to the public, any arraignments heard pursuant to the above will not be open to the public."

"The Court will continue to accept Criminal filings made through the Odyssey E-Filing System. Court staff will process filings on a priority basis, and as staffing permits; filers should anticipate that there may be delays."

Alpine County

Emergency motions in criminal cases. Emergency motions are defined as motions that seek immediate relief that cannot wait until the Court reopens on May 1, 2020, or later, e.g., a motion for release of a defendant when there is no stipulation to release, but there has been a change in circumstances since the last bail hearing other than the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; and requests for sentencing in criminal cases when the sentencing is reasonably likely to result in the defendant being released from custody.

Court will not file non-emergency motions, such as 1538.5s, 995s, and motions to serve.

If any party requests a hearing, all parties shall specify whether they request a live hearing in court, or whether they stipulate to a virtual hearing through videoconferencing, with the judge, all attorneys, and the defendant or minor if he or she is out of custody participating remotely by videoconference.

If the defendant is in custody in a criminal case, the defendant’s attorney may waive his or her client’s appearance when authorized by Penal Code section 977 so that the hearing may be held by videoconference

"The single department the Court now maintains to handle urgent issues such as in-custody arraignments shall also handle any felony or misdemeanor cases in which sentencing must occur during the period of closure."
